Solo projects are inherently a risk. Traditionally, few members of any prominent band have seen success in this sort of undertaking, and even fewer have enjoyed both critical and commercial success. Add to this the bizarre notion of creating stripped-down music that doesn't even reference the original band's genre, and you certainly have less examples of success to point to.

Dallas Green Mellows Out With City And Colour Dallas Green, under the clever moniker of City And Colour (his real name contains both a city and a colour), has been writing songs for his solo side project for several years. "I've been writing stuff since I was 14 or 15 years old. A bunch of the ones on the album, I wrote when I was 18 or 19, and then a few in my early 20s, and then the rest in the last year." The result is a collection of candid songs in the form of an album called "Sometimes" that describe his life experiences over the past decade
